Into The Promise Land | Pr Steven Soon

You're listening to a message to go from at church. We hope this message

will light up your day. God has given me a word for all of

us, and he has made this into a series. So I've got a

tree part series by God's grace to teach all of us here. It is

something that is really a word that has also ministered to me and also helped

me grow in my faith. And I pray that these will also be an

encouragement to all of us. Now, how many of us here know that

God has a plan for us, right, every single individual. God has

a plan for you. If you don't believe it, it is in scripture,

right. God has a plan and purpose for you, and we're going

to look into that in a bit. He has a destiny set before each

of you. Nothing is by coincidence. Nothing is an accident. You are

not an accident. If your parents saw you, we didn't plan for you.

I want to tell you, God said I've planned for you, all

right. If your parents say it had, God has a plan for you

all right. And your existence is really not by chance. There is a

plan and purpose. Every step of your walk in life is something that you

know. God is always there. God is always walking with you, especially

if you are already you know, a believer of Jesus Christ, know that

every single day God has a plan for you. The topic of the series

that I'm going to share with you guys is titled Into the Promised Land right,

and we will be drawing out from two books, the Books of Numbers

and Joshua, exploring how we can live out the destiny and purpose that God

has laid out for us. All right, So today we're gonna talk more

look more in the Book of Numbers, and then in the third part we're

going to look more into the Book of Joshua. The first part of the

series, the episode one, Episode one, is called are you seeing right?

Are you using a look your neighbor and say are you seeing right?

All right? Also, when was the last time you get your eyes check?

If you need to get your eyes check? Roop for John and Jamie,

they are studying up the metry. They are always looking for people to

to fulfill their assignments. Yes, so so yes, are you seeing right?

Is the title. We're gonna do a little warmer exercise. Let's ice

break a little bit, all right. I would like all of us participate.

It's gonna be fun. We're gonna look at the next light. What

do you see? Shout out? Dark? Rabbit? Rebbit? Not any

anymore? Horse? Hey, you tell me because I didn't see a horse.

Gotta help me see When when I was sharing this with the teens at

teens gam, they told me they saw a woman. I'm like, huh,

how okay? For what I see? Oh, you guys are quite

fast. I saw the same things I saw for as a duck, and

then I saw the rabbit. You guys can see it right? Who cannot

see the duck? It's okay, I will show it to you. It's

okay, it's okay. Who cannot see the rabbit? Oh? And you

can? I see a rabbit. Okay. That is the ear. There's

the eye, there's the snout. Do you see it now? It's okay.

We help you later, okay, all right? Next one? What

do you see from? Why? Not? Horse? First? One?

Horse? This is a horse? Say a frog? You see a horse?

What else do you see? Okay? I also only see those doula

all right. Uh. When I share things cam another person shutter, I

see a human. I also don't know how they saw a human. Young

people are very creative. Okay, do you guys see the frog? Can

you guys who cannot see the frog, I'll point it out to you.

I think frog is pretty obvious. Right. Do you guys see the horse?

Can you tail your head like that? There? You can see?

Right? Do you see the horse? This is the main this is These

are the ears. There's the eye. There's a snout. Did you guys

see it? Canna or imagine the picture rotate and is ninety degrees? Okay?

If you cannot see, I will have you later or so okay,

in the interest of time. Okay, So yes, find little activity to

get us to know a little bit about perspective, understand a lot a little

bit about seeing, right, okay, And my first point is this,

I'm gonna go right into it. What we permit ourselves to see will shape

our perception. Okay. If you're writing notes, I hope you do,

because I'm gonna go quite fast today because they are quite a bit to cover.

Uh. What we permit ourselves to see will shape our perception. Those

who are in advertising and marketing will know this. Right. Whatever we put

out the way we put it out right is with the heart of one thing

to give a certain perception to people for the product. Right, we are

surrounded by advertisements, whether you like it or not. Your drive outs on

the billboards, it's on the radios and music if you are using Spotify for

free, the Spotify premium, that keeps coming on talking about, you know,

advertising about Spotify premium. There's always things that we'll try, you know,

we keep We're always invaded by things around the world, the world trying

to show us, you know, just basically trying to sell us things.

Right, So the first point is this, I want to bring our attention

to this. What we permit ourselves to see for shape our perception. We're

gonna look into this. You know what we see shapes our perception and our

perception. Do you know this how you perceive you also shape your decision.

If you look at the product. Someone tells you this product, Hey,

John, I use this a very good you know, I use this right,

all my dark circles go away and all that. I use this for

two weeks and it works. Right, he would perceive as hey, passat

even use this product. It works. I should give it a shot.

Maybe I can try. Maybe it will work. If I go and say,

this product careful, don't use this one user red right, your dark

circles fell times two cannot you know, all right? And then he will

perceive that you cannot use that. Better not touch it. Right, So

what we perceive you shape our decision. We're gonna look at how the Israelites

perceive things, especially on the time where they escaped Egypt. All right,

So if you can turn with me the scripture, We're gonna look at scripture

quite a bit. Yeah, quite a bit. But I hope you are

okay with that. You know, it's always good to read the word of

the Lord, all right, So if you can flip your Bibles with me

two yeah, numbers chapter thirteen, verse one two five for now, okay,

Book of Numbers, chapter thirteen, verse one to twenty five. I

hope you are reading your Bibles. If not, if you really don't have

access, don't worry. I've got it prepared for you as well on the

screen. Now, let's read Scripture Numbers, chapter thirteen versus one. Yes,

Isaiah is excited to read the word of God. Okay, this is

a word of God. And the Lord spoke to Moses saying, send men

to spy out the land of Canaan, which I'm giving to the children of

Israel. From each tribe of their fathers, you shall send a man,

everyone, a leader among them. I want us to ear up this,

everyone a leader among them. I don't know if you ever notice this,

but the top spies were all leaders of their tribes, all right. So

Moses sent them from the wilderness of Paran, according to the command of the

Lord, all of them men who were hates of the children of Israel.

Again they will hate of the children of Israel. From the tribe of Simeon

Shafat, the son of Hori, from the tribe of Judah, Caleb,

the son of Jeffaneh, from the tribe of Isaka Igal, the son of

Joseph, from the tribe of Ephraim, Joshia, the son of Nun And

later you'll know that is Joshua from the trial of Benjamin Palti, the son

of Rafu, from the tribe of Zebelin Gadiel. This I read wrongedy from

the tribe of Zebelon GADeL, Yeah, the son of Jodi, and from

the tribe of Joseph, that is, from the tribe of Manasseh Gaddi,

the son of Susi from the tribe of dan Emil, the son of Gamali,

from the tribe of esher setor the son of Michael, from the tribe

of Nephthalai, Nabi, the son of Bobsi from the tribe of gad,

Guel, the son of Makai. These are the names of the man whom

Joseph sann to spy out the land, the land of Canaan, the promised

land, and Moses called Hoshea, the son of nan Joshua Verse seventeen.

Then Moses send them to spy out the land of Canaan, and say to

them, go up this way into the south, and go up to the

mountains, and see what the land is like, whether the people who dill

in it are strong or weak, few or many, whether the land they

dwell in is good or bad, whether the cities they inhabit are like camps

or strongholds, whether the land is rich or poor, and whether they are

forests there or not. Be of good courage and bring some of the fruit

of the land. Now the time was the season of the first ripe grapes.

So they went up and spied out the land from the wilderness of zin

as far as rehop near the entrance of Hamath, and they went up through

the south and came to Hebron, Ahima, Shashai and Talmai. The descendants

of Anna were there. I say this joke during the things camp. If

you know the job, don't don't reveal it. What do you call the

descendants of Anna? Anna? There you go. Okay, give you a

little bit of advertisement break. Okay, now we continue with scripture. Okay,

So descendants of Anna were there. Now Hebron was built seven years before

Zone in Egypt versuny three. Then they came to the value of Eshcoll and

there cut down a branch with one class of grapes. They carried it between

two of them on the pole. They also brought some of the pomegranates and

figs. Is this epo, No, it's not. It is in the

middle is The place was called the valley of Eshcol because of the cluster which

the men of Israel cut down there. And they returned from spying out the

land after forty days. Okay, if you miss out completely what we just

read, let me give you a TLDR. Basically, God told Moses sent

out talks five twelve men leaders of their tribes into the promised land for forty

days to inspire how the land is. Okay, that is basically the background.

Now, forty days later they came back to report their findings. Now

we're gonna read verse twenty six to thirty three. Now they departed and came

back to Moses and Aaron and all the congregation of children of Israel in the

wilderness of Iran a Kadesh. They brought back word to them and to all

the congregations, and showed them the fruit of the land. Then they told

him and said, we went to the land where you sent us. It

truly flows with milk and honey, and this is its fruit. Nevertheless,

the people who dwell in the land are strong. The cities are fortified and

very large. Moreover, we saw the descendants of Anna, the Amalakais dwell

in the land of the south. The hit Eyes, the Jebusize, and

the MRIs dwell in the mountains, and the Canaanites well by the sea and

along the banks of the Jordan. They were scared all right. Verse thirty.

Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, let us go up

at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome it verse

thirty one. But the man who had gone up with Faim said, we

are not able to go up against the people, for they are stronger than

we. And they gave the children of Israel a bad report of the land

which they had spied up, saying, the land through which we have gone

as spies is a land that devours its inhabitants, sol Drama, and all

the people whom we saw in it a man of great stature. There we

saw the giants. The descendants of Anak came from the giants, and we

were like grasshoppers in our own site. And so we were in their sight.

Now, all twelves of the spies went and they saw that the land

was good. They saw that it was rich, it was flowing with milk

and honey. But yet out of the twelve, ten of them saw something

bigger than that. They saw the inhabitants, the people who stay there,

whom they described as giants. Now, if you do a little bit of

Bible study, they were in the giants. They were tall. Right.

If you read, you know last time I shared a little bit of scripture.

There's anakin, not any kin, and the king is basically the triveler,

all right, and the kim h and they are actually descendants of giants.

They will actually be. So it wasn't that they perceived that they were

big. These people were actually giants. They were taller than the Israelites.

Right. And of course they also saw the fortified cities. And here is

something that is very interesting. If you look at verse study tree, look

at how they described themselves. They say they were like grasshoppers. Have you

ever describe yourself as a grasshopper before? Have you ever called someone a grasshopper?

Never? Right? They are so creative to call themselves grasshoppers. Right?

And I want us to notice this, right, they said we were

like grasshoud oppers in our own side. Did the Anna anna say they were

grasshoppers? No, nobody called them grasshoppers. Nobody said they were small.

But they perceived because of what they see, they perceived that they were small.

And the way they say this, and we were like grasshoppers in our

own side, and so we were in their side. See the sentence structure.

They first see themselves at grasshoppers. So they were You realize that it

was their perception that made them small. All right. They first set their

sights and their eyes on their environment. They saw the giants, they saw

the fortified cities. Then they set their sights on themselves. Man, we

small like grasshoppers. These people can just step on us and we will die.

But they forgot to set their eyes on the most important thing O person.

If I may say, they forgot to look at God. They forgot

who sent them. There contexts history lesson just two years before this happened.

Do you know what happened any any guesses two years before this happened? Are

you sure? I? Yeah? Answer ay h John? Why do you

do this to me? Yes? God just parted the racy two years ago.

We as Christians hear these stories so much that we become numb to it.

But take a moment, right imagine you heard this for the first time.

God parted the sea. How impossible is that? And if you raise

scripture, the race seed didn't just part. The land they walked upon was

dry. And as if that was not enough, the pharaoh's army that was

chasing after them was swallowed up by the sea. This happened just two years

ago. How could they have forgotten that the Lord who sent them into the

promised land to spy is the Lord that did just this. They probably saw

themselves as grasshoppers in front in Egypt, but yet they forgot what God did.

Now in the two years fact, fun fact, Do you guys know

why it's called numbers? The Book of Numbers? It is called numbers.

Have you guys ever thought about it? And he guesses, why is it

called numbers? I never thought about it? Right, Okay, it's called

numbers if you look at the first few chapters, because God was numbering the

people of Israel. God asks Moses, I want you to go and numbered

your tribes, and the people give me an account of who were there.

Right, That's why it's called numbers. In that two years, from the

parting of the sea, escaping the Egyptians to all the way to this point

where they are right near Canaan and about to go in. What was happening

in those two years, God was sort of like trying to put the house

in order that israelized. If you read, you will see that He gave

every tribe sort of like different tribes roles. This is your roleevites, you're

the priests, right, different ones. You have a role to play.

He's putting the house in order. In other words, everyone there was serving

us, trying to get things out lah right, getting sorted out. But

then in that two years of doing what the Lord says, they forgot what

the Lord did. This is a reminder for us as Christians. Many times

we serve the house of the Lord. Let's not forget what the Lord did

for us. Sometimes we get jaded when we serve. We're like, oh,

we're doing this week in the same thing over and over, and we

forget why we do it in the first place. We forget how God delivered

us, just how God delivered Israel out of the Pharaoh's grasp. Just a

layer side note for us to sort of understand how come they could have probably

forgotten what God did in that two years. I want to bring our attention

to verse one and two, and the Lord spoke to Moses, saying,

send men to spy out the land of Canaan, which I'm giving to the

children of Israel. From each tribe of their fathers, you shall send a

man everyone, a leader among them. Firstly, they forgot that it wasn't

Moses that commanded them to go, who was it? It was called himself.

Secondly, God already promised that He is giving the land of Canaan to

them. Look at verse two again said man to spire out the land of

Canaan, which I am giving to the children of Israel. Basically in that

command, God has already said, just go give to you it. You

just have to go. But the spies for God. And we're going to

look a little bit that actually it wasn't just a spies that for God.

And I'm going to talk about that in a bit, all right, So

two points. First, they forgot that it was God that asked them to

go, and if God asked us to go somewhere, we know that God

is in control right right. And secondly, they forgot that God has already

promised to give them the promised land. That's why they were so overwhelming.

And they saw the enemies. They're so big how to fight? But God

already said, I have already given this to you. Now, the word

spy, we're going to do a little bit of study of the word.

The word spy in Hebrew is tour, say tour, tour, I can't

really pronounce it well. Also tour, okay. It is to seek out,

search out, spy out, and to explore so that was what the

spies did. But let me give you a little bit of cross referencing of

this word in Ezekiel chapter twenty, verse five to six. Let me read

this to you. Say to them, to says the Lord God, on

the day when I chose Israel, and raise my hand in an oath to

the descendants of the house of Jacob, Jacob, of cause the other name

is Israel, Okay, Israel, and made myself known to them in the

land of each I raised my hand in an oath to them, saying I

am the Lord your God. On that day I raised my hand in an

oath to them to bring them out of the land of Egypt into a land

that I had searched out for them, flowing with milk and honey, the

glory of all lands. Why do I cross reference to this scripture, because

it wasn't just the spies searching out the land. Before the spies went over

here, Ezekiel, you see the Lord himself searched out the land. I

hope this is an encouragement to us that wherever the Lord is asking us to

go, wherever the Lord is leading us to, the Lord himself had went

out to search out before us, so we don't have to worry. We

just have to trust God. While all the the ten out of the twelve

spies, leaders of their tribes were complaining and saying, no, we cannot

do this. Thank God, there were Caleb and Joshua. They were the

minority, but yet they spoke up. They saw that they were supposed what

they were supposed to see. They perceived what they were supposed to perceive.

They understood that God had already gone before them. It was already yes and

amen. And if you look at scripture, they say, let's go there

immediately at once, don't wait. See the power of perception. Caleb and

Joshua chose. While the other tan chose to look at the giants and the

fortified cities, Joshua and Caleb chose to look at God's promises. They chose

to see that God asked us to go. God promised to give us this

land. It is given. We go. Now. You see how perception

really changes the outcome of our decisions. Can you imagine if there were no

Caller and Joshua, there will be no Israeli serious Thank God, Caleb and

Joshua spoke up. They remembered what they saw again numbers thirteen, Verse thirty

says this. Then Caleb quieted the people before Moses and said, let us

go up at once and take possession, for we are well able to overcome

it. Do you think when they say we are well able to overcome it,

they are looking at the Israelites. I don't think so. You know,

if they look at the Israelites, they probably go, we are no

way going to defeat them with salt and stones and whatever. That. We

have no way, not equipped at all, I believe. And they say

we are well able to overcome they remember who was with them. God was

with them. They remembered that God wiped out the Pharaoh's army. They didn't

even have to leave a hand to fight back. God fought their battles.

They remembered. Therefore they were able to say we are well able to overcome

it. So that is the first point that I want to share with you

guys, is what we permit ourselves to see will shape our perception. The

second point is this what we want to see, we will see more.

Let me share a story, the tale of the shoe salesman. Okay,

something may have full of this, all right, it's it's I think it's

fiction. I think it's fiction. But the story goes like this. In

the early nineteen hundreds, there were two competing shoe companies though about the world,

all right, from the US. They wanted to venture out to different

parts of the world, establish their presence, right and to of course sell

more shoes. So these two companies had their eyesight had their eyes set on

Africa, all right. So they they send each company send one of their

top salesman over, right, So two companies each send their top salesman over.

They go there and then at that time, there was no phone,

there's no WhatsApp. There was telegram though, but not the app. You

guys know, telegram, right, do you know? Telegram is not some

brilliant name that someone came up with for an app, right, It was

actually how people communicated back then in the early days. They so when they

went there, the first person, uh, communicated to the company and said,

hi boss here, there's no way we can sell shoes. And then

they said, why nobody here wear shoes. So he went back, second

salesman telegram back, hi boss here, we can sell shoes because nobody here

wears shoes. The possibilities are endless. You see same environment, same things

in front of them, but different perception. It's the same story with the

half glass empty, half glass, fool, What do you see? And

what we want to see we will see more. So let's see what the

scripture is going to teach us about this. Okay. Now, the Israelites

at that time chose to see that the enemies of the land were bigger than

God. That's what they chose to see before they went. And here's my

guess, right, they probably already had doubts go into this land, shure.

No, the people have been established there for so long, they've built

cities there ready, and we're gonna go and take over this land. And

these spies, being leaders of each tribe, I imagine that they were basically

representing the voice of their tribe, and the people probably thought the same way,

no way, no way we can go in. How did I derive

this? Because if you continue reading, you will realize that when the ten

spies came with their bad report, the Israelized had no hesitation to agree with

them. They immediately grumbled, oh woe, it's me, no way we

can go in, go in, will surely die This leads me to believe

that they already had doumbs in the beginning. So this is a side point

that I will bring up. Whatever the conditions of our hearts, scary by

shue, God were eventually exposed. So even though in the beginning sounds really

good, there's a promised land that we're going to go into as any spice

in to sort of a scut out the land, and we're gonna come back

and then we're gonna go in. Sounds really good. But the majority of

the Israelites, their hearts weren't ready. They were grumbling, and the Lord

exposed it through the tense spies in Genesis chapter nineteen. This is the famous

story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Right when Sodom and god Mora

were being destroyed by God for their sin, the disobedience and refusal to repent.

While God gave Lord and his family a chance to escape, his wife.

You guys know this, right, Lord's wife turned back to look at

the city and became a pillar of salt. I always growing up, when

I studied this in Sunday school, I always go like, whire God,

so petty, don't ma become solo die like it was dial Why so patty?

Why why so strict? Because the angels of the Lord actually say,

don't look back, keep going. As I grew up, as I reflected

on the scripture, more and more I realized this that it wasn't because Lot's

wife accidentally looked back. I think that she looked back because she missed her

whole life. She was thinking of, Am I really going to leave this

behind? I believe it's like this all right, And I will bring you

our attention to how does this connect to what we are sharing in numbers?

You'll see that in a bit. Now we're going to look at the word

look back in Hebrew. It's neighbor, say neighbor. Neighbor. Yeah,

neighbor is the word. There's original text use. It means to look back,

to regard to consider. I hope this gives a little bit more death

to the scripture we just read. The means Law's wife was considering what was

behind her. God was trying to bring her forward. Yeah, yet she

still wanted to go back. God was trying to bring the Israelites forward into

a great destiny, their own nation, their own land. And if you

against study scripture. You understand this promise has been given a long time ago,

since Abraham. This is a promise that the Israelites well known off God

was gonna give it to them, fulfill God's promise to them. But yet

at this crucial moment, when God's promise is about to come to pass,

they decided to go against God. They were quick to forget what God did

for them, what got instructed, and how God has delivered them. Now.

Caleb and Joshua, on the other hand, the minority wanted to see

God's promise come to pass. So they saw beyond the big giants and the

fortified cities, and they looked towards the destiny that God has installed for them

in the next in part two, I will explore a little bit of how

difficult it was actually for Joshua and Caleb to speak up. They were actually

the only two out of the whole Israel to say we should go in and

let me tell you how bad they God. The whole Israel wanted to stone

them to death for one thing, to fulfill God's loss and God's promise.

We will look more into that in part two. So what we want to

see we'll see more. The Israelites, we're looking at the giants, and

basically they are already in their hearts seeing that they cannot. So they saw

more of cannot. They saw more of the giants and the fortified cities.

But for Caleb and Joshua, they saw in the very beginning God's promise for

them. So when they saw the giants, when they saw the fortified cities,

they go like, we can overcome them. What we choose to see,

we will see more. So what are we choosing to see today in

our environments, in our situations, in our workplace, in our class,

whatever situations we're in, environments we are in, what are we seeing?

In closing, as we talk about what are we allowing ourselves to see?

I want to bring our attention to some scripture. Second Countians five seven says

this, for we walk by faith, not by sight. Caleb and Joshua

choose to walk by faith, while the rest of the Israelites chose sight.

We are supposed to see with the eyes of faith. Only true walking by

faith, we will see God. Matthew five fath says this, Blessed are

the poor pure in heart, for they shall see God, pure in heart,

pure means not contaminated. Josha and Caleb, what they see, wee

contaminated by their environment. They still saw God. It was pure. They

kept their focus on the promises of God, on the world of God.

Therefore they were pure in heart. It was not contaminated by the world,

and because of that they saw God. They saw God in their situations.

They saw God. Even in the midst of the giants and the fortified cities.

They saw God. Are we allowing ourselves, our hearts, out sight

to be contaminated by what the enemy is trying to tell us? I started

the sermon by sharing about how the world is constantly marketing things to us wherever

we go. What are we allowing ourselves to see? And what are we

allowing ourselves to perceive? Because one of the greatest two those of the enemy.

There are two. One of it is to distract it. As long

as he can distract you from God, he has won. He happy.

Really Another tool is he likes to lie. He is a fantastic liar to

craft stories in your ears. But we have to be very vigilant. We

have to be very careful and without a doubt. Today we are in end

times. It's very heavy thing to talk about, but I think it's still

something that we need to address and acknowledge, and in end times it's only

going to get more and more intense. The distractions and the lies. I

don't have to go into detail. You already know what are some of the

things that are happening. When I say that, I pray that we will

carry the spirit of Killer and Joshua in knowing what to see, to see

right. When we see right, when we hear right, there is part

two we will do right. There will be part three that I will share.

So what are we allowing ourselves to see today? Church? When you

are in a difficult situation, do you see that man like God, it's

not with me? Or do you see an opportunity of a testimony? When

you see you're in an environment where you're the only Christian, You're the only

believer, only child of Art in that environment. Do you see I'm so

lonely I can leave up my faith? Or do you see what an opportunity?

Just like the shoe salesman, all unsafe, I can bring the Gospel

to there. I can play a part in changing my whole company. I

can play a part in changing my whole university. Can we do that?

When I was in university, I was the only Christian in my class,

even in the midst of lecturers, none of them are believers. And I

studied film production. It's arts, it's very subjective, it's very liberal.

I won't go into detail the things that they asked us to try and do,

but I had to at that time make a stand for myself. What

am I going to do? I'm going to follow? I had to read

that I was given a script to do, a script reading of a character,

every sentence discussing on do I do it, and go like, it's

just a character, it's not me, ma, what do I do?

I can tell you what I did. I told her lecturers. I say

means, I'm so sorry I can't do this, but can I change the

way I present this script? She was disappointed, But I made a stand.

I did it, and surprisingly I got an A for the subject.

Not every time, I want to also say this, it's not every time

when you stand up for your faith you turn out well. I have to

be very honest with you. There'll be days you'll get persecuted more. I

have also experienced that when I stand up for what I believe, I got

persecuted more. But we have to remember why we do what we do.

Why do you stand up for your faith? Is it to be rewarded by

God? Is it so that you'll be blessed? Or you're standing up for

your faith because that is what pleases the Lord's heart. We have to do

a heart check on this. Right throughout the Book of Numbers and Joshua,

throughout even the Book of Exoders, you see the Israelized complaining, complaining,

complaining, complaining and complaining. To them, it's like, God, we

want food, we're gonna die of God gave manna. And then they go

like back in Egypt, we got meat to eat? Here, no meat

to eat. They complain. Later, they complain, every other nation has

a king, but our nation of Israel has no king. Complain again,

when God was their king? What did God do? God gave them a

king time and time again. God bless them, but yet they weren't able

to see it. I pray that in our life we will always be able

to see the blessings of God. Sometimes life can be tough, it can

be difficult, no doubt, we can be in dire situations. But know

this always remember the world tells you you are in trouble, but God tells

you I am with you. I am with you. Follow me, follow

my voice, do as I say, and you will be okay. Coming

back to the point, what leads to that is how we see. What

we see and what we see perceive will affect our perception, and what we

perceive will affect our decisions. So why wait and there you see wrong,

you perceive wrong, then you have to decide whether you can do right or

wrong. Start from the beginning, see right, and things will be a

little bit more straightforward. Are you all right? We hope you've been blessed

by this message. For more information on our church, please visit as church
